Akshay Kumar, who has been grappling with a series of box office flops, is not slowing down. The Bollywood star has been making headlines with back-to-back film announcements. On his birthday, two new projects were revealed: ‘Bhoot Bangla’ in collaboration with Priyadarshan and Ekta Kapoor, and the much-anticipated Telugu film ‘Kanappa’. The latter has sparked immense excitement, especially after Telugu actor Vishnu Manchu shared Akshay’s first look at the film on social media.
First Look of Akshay as Lord Shiva Leaves Fans Awestruck
In the first look from ‘Kanappa’, Akshay Kumar appears to be portraying Lord Shiva, donning a Rudraksha garland tied around his arm. The image is accompanied by the powerful caption: “Of course, Lord Shiva reigns supreme over all the worlds, but when it comes to the immense devotion of devotees, he surrenders.” This visual has set the internet ablaze, with fans expressing their enthusiasm and predicting that this film could mark a major comeback for Akshay.
Star-Studded Cast in a Pan-India Release
‘Kanappa’ is not just generating buzz because of Akshay’s involvement. The film boasts a stellar cast, including big names like Prabhas, Mohanlal, Prabhudeva, and Sarathkumar, alongside Vishnu Manchu. The film’s first look was initially shared during Mahashivratri in March 2024, followed by a teaser in June that briefly featured Akshay. With such a powerful ensemble and grand production values, ‘Kanappa’ is set to be a major pan-India release.
Akshay’s Other Projects: A Glimpse into ‘Bhoot Bangla’
While ‘Kanappa’ is garnering attention, Akshay is also in the spotlight for his upcoming film ‘Bhoot Bangla’. This film marks his reunion with Priyadarshan after 14 years, and fans are eagerly awaiting to see what this duo brings to the screen. Despite a string of underperforming films in recent years, Akshay’s cameo in ‘Stree 2’ was well-received, offering a glimmer of hope. Now, with ‘Kanappa’ and ‘Bhoot Bangla’, all eyes are on Akshay to see if these projects can reignite his box office magic.
